Equipped with a unique variety of conditioning options, we are well positioned to tailor the right program for any horse.
\n\n
\n\nTypically horses will start out on our water walker, progress to treadmill work and where appropriate or requested some track work on our sand training track. Our aim is to develop cardiovascular fitness and body condition with minimal stress and impact on joints. This enables your horse to go into full training feeling strong, healthy and without vices.
\n\n
\n\nDiet and nutrition is a key element of our program as well. We prefer to feed Hygain™ feed products with chaff and various hay. However we also can procure any type of feed and supplements available upon your request. Pre-training time frames vary but for a typical program we recommend 3-5 weeks depending on prior spell duration.

Once again we take a modern approach to this through our water walker.
\n\n
\n\nOur cross training approach is not standardised, instead we tailor it to each horse depending on what you want to achieve and the time frame we have to work within. A great place to start is with our water walker which enables your horse to maintain a good level of cardiovascular fitness while at the same time soothing joints and muscles through effective hydrotherapy principles. Horses generally love being in water once they are familiar with it, so with the hydrotherapy comes plenty of mental stimulation.
\n\n
\n\nNutrition is a key piece to everything we do and with our cross training programs we really focus on providing a diet that will have your horse in the desired condition when it returns. We prefer to use Hygain™ feed products however we can source any brand of feed you prefer and will follow strict diet instructions at your direction.

With this in mind we have established a facility that is well equipped to care for horse on the road to recovery.
\n\n
\n\nOur injury rehabilitation approach is 100% tailored to each horse and is always done in consultation with your vet or physiotherapist. We have a variety of options in how we can help a horse recover from injury through utilising our Water Walker, Horse Walker, Treadmill and Sand Yards. Generally it's a combination of all of the above which helps us to tailor the best program for your horse.
\n\n
\n\nWe are fully aware your ambition to get your horse back to the track burns hard, however we are a patient bunch and will provide continuous feedback on your horses progress which in turn helps you to manage your own expectations. We are also quite pragmatic, so if it does reach the point where we need to 'call time' on your horse because the risks outweigh the benefits or it's become obvious that full recovery is not achievable, we will always be honest with you.
\n\n
\n\nNothing is guaranteed when it comes to injury rehabilitation for horses, however we do commit to doing our very best to give your horse to best opportunity to return to racing.

We hold the view that sending your horse to spell feeling sore, tired and unhappy will not yield the best outcome. Post preparation recovery is a short program which aids in helping your horse to recover from its racing preparation as efficiently as possible.
\n\n
\n\nOur approach is to provide a light and low impact exercise regime with a real focus on muscle and joint recovery through hydrotherapy in our Water Walker. We combine this with some rest and relaxation in our sand and grass day yards as well as plenty of walking.
\n\n
\n\nWith time between carnivals getting shorter, we aim to have your horse ready to hit the spelling paddock within 10-14 days. How long you choose to rest your horse from here is totally up to you.
